Chapter 770: Conflict
"This is Lu ...... Brother?"
In front of Ning Xin, Jiang Chi restrained a lot, and when he saw Qingluan, who was not outstanding in disguised men's clothes, he couldn't help but comment: "Ziling, your vision ...... Hehe, isn't she flattering?"
"It's not inner flattery, but inner show, cheap and good at playing the piano. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info」
Of course, Chang Wei wouldn't tell him how beautiful Qingluan was, but looking at the expression on Jiang Chi's face, he knew that he wanted to be crooked again.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Yan, Mama Jiang, had already taken the hand of Ning Xin, who had just gotten off the carriage, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, you are not taboo, there is no distinction between men and women!"
"The eyes of the eldest sister are not so distracted, even the girl and the boy can't see it! This is Lord Li's sister?"
Ning Xin, who is easy to hairpin and Ben, is five or six points similar to Chang Wei, and at first glance, she looks like a brother.
However, both the thief and the matchmaker are very observant of words and feelings, and Jiang Yan soon realized that Ning Xin's eyes were by no means what a sister should have, so he secretly asked Chang Wei, "Is it my aunt's cousin, or my aunt's cousin?"
Chang Wei smiled vaguely, Li Long's identity should be spread as soon as possible, and it is necessary to use the power of these matchmakers to admit the wrong relationship, which will naturally benefit him without harm.
"Damn, as soon as you see a handsome little official, you'll be angry!" Jiang Chi saw Jiang Yan leave Chang Wei and Qingluan Ningxin, and he was tired of him again, and couldn't help but scold.
The two flirted and scolded, and Jiang Yan took them to see the house, but they left four houses in a row, either Chang Wei didn't fall in love, or Qingluan Ningxin couldn't look at it.
The women were still in high spirits, but Jiang Chi's face became more and more ugly. After Yingzi Hutong and then went south, into a narrow alley that could only allow a carriage to pass, Jiang Chi didn't walk a few steps, looked ahead, and saw that there were almost exactly the same faces inside, and there was no pedestrian on the street, he finally couldn't help it, while wiping the sweat on his forehead, he bluffed and said, "Mama Jiang, which one are you talking about, how far do we have to go?"
"Little Hou Ye is just anxious. Jiang Yan snorted coquettishly, hugged Jiang Chi's arm and walked towards the depths of the alley, and Chang Wei followed behind with the two daughters.
Although Ning Xin is young, her body has a strong resilience, and she doesn't look like a girl who has just lost her virgin body, but Qingluan frowns from time to time, thinking that the tender branches are unbearable, Chang Wei slowed down, motioned for her to snuggle into his arms, and secretly laughed at her: "Let you rest at home, you don't listen, it's hard now!"
After walking nearly 200 steps, he found that this was a dead end, Jiang Chi scolded, "Damn, no wonder it's called a pocket alley, it's evil when you look at it." 」
Jiang Yan, who had already started to call the door over there, continued: "Little Hou Ye, don't look down on this pocket alley, there are no mountains or rivers here, and they live in some solid people. 」
It took a long time to see a person who looked like an old housekeeper to open the door, and seeing that they were all unfamiliar faces, the old man hesitated to ask who to find. Jiang Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are Steward Tang, I am Mama Jiang from Dengshikou, I heard Ma Dashan from Bangu Hutong say that your house is going to be cashed out, so I will bring a few friends over to take a look, I don't know if this house is cashed out?"
He casually asked, "Is your master's illness cured?"
"Mama Jiang at the entrance of the light market? Oh, I remember, the second miss of the Ma family is the matchmaker you gave to Bao! Master Ma is really interested, and I just said that casually to him. The old butler let us in, and kept babbling, "It wasn't this house that was going to be sold, but the one opposite, but the layout of the two houses is exactly the same. For them, my lord has really put a lot of effort into it, and now that he is sick, he is also strong, so it is a matter of whether he sells them or not!"
When Jiang Chi heard this, he was about to turn his face, Chang Wei hurriedly gave him a look, and whispered in his ear: "This old butler looks confused, but he is actually very shrewd, if he really doesn't want to sell, how can he let us in?"
Jiang Yan also understands people, and Chong Chong said to the old housekeeper with a smile: "It's okay to take a look, anyway, my friend is not in a hurry." 」
Entering the outer courtyard, Chang Wei saw the delicate hanging flower door at a glance, and suddenly praised it in his heart.
The hemp leaf beam on the outward side seems to be a red cloud, and a pair of upside-down short pillars under the beam head are carved with lotus leaves, decorating the vertical pillars like budding buds. The beams between the weeping lotus pillars are carved with the pattern of "Yutang Wealth", which is even more festive and auspicious.
The outer Nanmu chessboard door is wrapped with six rows of copper hoops, which looks very strong and heavy, and the screen door inside is made of fine ironwood, and the paint is bright and almost recognizable, which shows that what the old housekeeper said is true.
After the hanging flower gate, everyone's eyes are even brighter. The hall house of three is high and magnificent, the east and west wings are also carved beams and painted buildings; the cross road in the courtyard is all paved with bluestone, and the rest is green grass; there are several jujube trees planted in front of the main house, and the branches are full of green fruits; the east side is a grape shelf, the west side is planted with cloves, there is a huge lotus pot in the middle of the road, the lotus flowers in the tank are in full bloom, from time to time I see a few golden carp jumping out of the water, making a crackling sound.
The courtyard is quite beautiful and quiet, and even the sound of reading from the east and west wings is quite soft.
"That's good!" Jiang Chi looked around and couldn't help but praise.
The old housekeeper took the key and came out, and when he heard this, his face was proud, and he said with a smile: "These two houses are not the first in the pocket alley, but also the top three. 」
Ning Xin quietly touched Chang Wei and shouted in a low voice: "Third brother~"
Looking at Ning Xin's eyes, she knew that she liked this place very much, but she couldn't let the seller see her thoughts, so Chang Wei hurriedly signaled her not to make a sound, but Jiang Chi pretended to be stupid and said, "Oh, is there a better house in this alley?
The old housekeeper laughed dryly, and there was inevitably two points of ridicule in his voice, Jiang Chi was suddenly unhappy: "Old man, what are you laughing at? Master, I bought his house because I can afford him......
Before he finished speaking, the person had been pulled aside by Chang Wei, and Jiang Yan said to the old housekeeper with a smiling face: "Uncle Tang, don't be angry, my young master has such a temper, and he can't stand the slightest grievance. She yelled at me: "The main owner of the house is this Li Gongzi, who came to Beijing from other places to do business, and wants to settle his family in the capital. If this house is sold, uncle, you can tell me a price. 」
"The old man is a butler, where can he be the master!" That being said, the old butler still led them to the other side.
When I went in, the two houses really looked like they were carved out of a mold, and even the flower trees and lotus pots in the courtyard were exactly the same. It's just that although the yard is clean, weeds can still be seen in the flower beds, and there is no sound of living in the main room, so it is obviously uninhabited.
After seeing the main room, even Qingluan showed a look of liking. The old housekeeper over there seemed to be unable to resist Jiang Yan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and secretly leaked the owner's hole cards: "I heard the master say that this house will never be sold without 15,000 taels of silver with furniture. 」
Jiang Yan was stunned, probably because this number was much beyond her imagination. Ning Xin was overjoyed and secretly shook Chang Wei's arm.
Chang Wei hesitated, fifteen thousand is a fairly fair price, not to mention that the house itself is worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and even those exquisite furniture with exquisite workmanship and extremely particular materials cannot be stopped.
He only brought 180,000 taels of silver tickets to Beijing this time, except for giving 3,000 taels to Yuan Keli, Fu Zhouzi and others, a total of 50,000 taels, Deng Qi 2,000 taels, ransomed 10,000 taels of white peonies, bought nearly 30,000 taels of real estate in Shen Lizi Hutong, and was blackmailed by the emperor for disaster relief 10,000 taels.
But at the moment, it is not possible to withdraw money from Tongzhou factory, Jiangnanju and other places, so as not to be seen as Chang Wei and Li Long alone, which is a small trouble.
Ning Xin was exquisite, her eyes rolled, and she whispered close to Chang Wei's ear: "Third brother, when I entered Beijing, my mother brought me a thousand taels of silver, and they only spent a small half, and Uncle Jiang also gave a meeting gift of one thousand taels......
Ning Xin's kindness aroused the pride in Chang Wei's heart: "It's not even in the eyes of your third brother, the private money in your hand should be kept for the sisters in the room in the future!"
The owner of the house was bedridden, so his wife came forward to receive everyone. Chang Wei and Jiang Chi naturally wouldn't let go of this young woman who had no experience in shopping malls and was quite shy, and took turns to squeeze in words.
Over there, Jiang Yan pestered the old housekeeper, and revealed Li Long's identity intentionally or unintentionally, and finally the house was sold at a low price of 12,500 taels.
"Tang Mian, why don't I have the slightest impression!" Jiang Chi looked at the owner's signature on the deed, and suddenly asked the housekeeper, "What kind of business does your master do?"
"It's tea. 」
"Tea merchant?" Jiang Chi looked at the delicate three-legged white porcelain tea bowl in his hand, then closed his eyes, savored the tea, and stopped making a sound.
"People want to move over today!" The title deed was transferred to Ning Xin's hands, and she was very excited, pulling Qingluan around in the newly purchased house.
Jiang Yan is a self-acquaintance and well-informed, so he enthusiastically came up with ideas for Ning Xin, from the servant maid to the inner hall furnishings, the more the two talked, the more enthusiastic they became, looking at Ning Xin's posture, and even pulling Jiang Yan to be the manager, Chang Wei was busy interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Ning Xin'er, you and your sister Lu go back to the house first, I'll go to Wanjin, and Ming'er will ask Sister Jiang to introduce us to a few capable maids. 」
Ning Xin was thorough at a point, and said yes with a smile. Jiang Chi casually asked, "Wanjin, that Wanjin from Baihualou?"
Chang Wei praised him for having a wide range of friends, but Jiang Chi lowered his voice and said with a sly smile: "It's just right, I haven't been to Baihualou for a few days, so I'll accompany you for a while, I can't see the white peony, but there is Yao Bilian!"
So he sent the second daughter back to the Changning Hou Mansion first, Jiang Yan knew that Chang Wei had a very close relationship with the Jiang family, but he tried to find out the identity of the second daughter, but Jiang Chi put on the shelf of the Hou of Anping and warned her not to ask more.
Jiang Yan was not so afraid, tired of him, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal to be a county lord's mother, but the slave family has never seen a county lord with such a good temper, and the slave family naturally likes it!"
"She's good-tempered, if she's good-tempered, Taiqi's head won't bloom!" Jiang Chi pouted: "That is, I met Ziling, damn, this is a mouse afraid of a cat, one thing descends one thing!"
Saying this, he realized that Jiang Yan had something to say, glared at her, and scolded, "Grandma, do you think my daughter-in-law is too powerful?"
Jiang Yan pretended to dodge twice, and then lay on Jiang Chi and let him be presumptuous, but a trace of resentment secretly passed from the corner of his eye. Chang Wei was unmoved, watching the two frolicking with a smile, but secretly guessing in his heart what the relationship between the two was.
Baihualou arrived soon, the three of them were familiar with the road, although Yao Bilian had a guest, but the guest did not dare to offend Jiang Chi, Jiang Chi naturally hugged the beauty Yunyu Gaotang.
Jiang Yan went into the rooms of those prostitutes, while selling the novelties she had seen in the mansions of wealthy families, and on the other hand, the short chats between the east and the west made her find out a lot of privacy.
Chang Wei told Wan Jin that he was going to resign, made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and then found Unzen.
When she heard that she was going to redeem her, she was overjoyed, and said with a low brow and a light smile that the hard work of taking care of Lu Xin in the past few days was finally not in vain.
And the old bustard also seemed to think that Yunxian was too old, and because he had read a few days of books, he was not very willing to flatter guests, and he was afraid of Jiang Chi, so he agreed to Chang Wei's ransom of eight hundred taels without a few rounds of tug-of-war.
The silver deed was cleared, and the old bustard smiled and said, "Lu Xin and Yunxian are only liked by readers, and Master Li also looks like a scholar, but he didn't expect his fists and feet to be so powerful!"
On the night of the conflict between Yipinlou and Hong Qifa and Liao Xi, the singers and dancers who accompanied him were all from Baihualou, and it was not surprising that the bustard got the letter. Chang Wei smiled casually and said that the dog was in a hurry and jumped off the wall, and asked if there was news about Liao Hong and the two in the past two days.
"Why not!...... Qifa has already released the wind, saying that he wants adults to look good, but if adults have friends like Jiang Xiaohouye, they will naturally not be afraid of him!" The old bustard sneered.
"Hong Qifa is just a clown jumping off the beam. Chang Wei snorted: "There is only one of his subordinates named Master Bai, who can still be on the stage." 」
"Master Bai?" The old bustard was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "My lord must be the old man Baiqu Bai, he is not Hong Qifa's subordinate, but I heard that he seems to have lost business, so he sent someone under the fence to help Hong Qifa train the handlebar style, and by the way, he taught them a few tricks of punches and feet, and also pointed out the nursing home of the building!
"Oh, how long has this been?"
"It's been three or four months!" the bustard couldn't figure it out.
Chang Wei was slightly stunned in his heart, so calculated, after the battle of the Shen family in Songjiang, Hebquan broke away from the Okita group and secretly sneaked back to the capital, obviously the relationship between him and Okita is not very close.
But Okita can get so many horses, except for Hebquan, there really can't be a second suspicious person. Thinking of the dialogue between the disciples of the Kuaimatang in Hangzhou West Lake, Chang Wei gradually had a trace of doubt in his heart, the business of Kuaimatang suddenly declined, could there be someone making trouble in the middle, and would he join the Jinge Club because there was another insider?
However, Hong Qifa doesn't seem to know Heberquan's true identity, otherwise he won't be easily allowed to show up, Baiqu's identity is thought to have been prepared by Heberquan a long time ago, so his original horse business may have a lot of problems.
After chatting with the bustard for a short time, it soon became clear that Heber Quan was currently living in Tongda Motor. Chang Wei had the heart to go and investigate, so he wanted to find Jiang Chi and told him to go first.
"Take the slave with you, the slave doesn't want to stay here for a moment. Yun Xian hugged Chang Wei and begged.
Two days ago, Chang Wei might really take her away, but last night's big battle had already vented Chang Wei's anger that had been accumulated for nearly two months, and he naturally didn't have too many thoughts about her, not to mention that the two stunning beauties who were charming and charming must also be waiting for Chang Wei to go back to Wencun in the Ning Cui Pavilion, so he used the excuse that the house needed to be repaired, Wen Yan comforted her a few words, and asked her to stay in Baihualou for another night.
Carrying Unzen back to her residence, a few of her sisters who had received the letter congratulated her on the way, and she became happy again, and as soon as she entered the back garden, she gave her fragrant lips.
"Yo, it's really the sun coming out in the west, why is Sister Yunxian also a lover?"
But I saw seven or eight people coming out of the rockery one after another, men and women hugging each other, one of them smiled in surprise, and the man she was snuggling up to also looked at me in surprise and said, "Ziling, listen to my eldest brother, you are a leader of the wind and moon, the head of the flower and willow team, I didn't expect it to be so bold and romantic, aren't you afraid that Ning Xin will be jealous?" But it was Jiang Kui and Jiang Taiqi.
"People are not romantic teenagers! Isn't the fourth young man also a good wife in the family! Besides, without the diamond, we won't take this porcelain job. Jiang Kui can know the relationship between Chang Wei and Ning Xin, presumably Chongyao began to spread the news, and the Jiang family naturally got the information as soon as possible.
"Who are you talking to!" The white boy next to Jiang Kui didn't have the slightest respect when he heard Chang Wei's words, so he screamed and asked, but Jiang Kui stopped him.
He glanced at Yun Xian and said with a smile: "Ziling, no wonder Xiao Qi is rude, you are a hundred dignified and well-dressed households, even if you come to Baihualou to accompany you, even if you are not accompanied by Yao Bilian Ge Tan, you must be accompanied by outstanding characters like Li Ying and Liu Fang, Yunxian girl, hehe......" A smile appeared as he spoke.
Yun Xian's face suddenly lost color, and he timidly hid behind Chang Wei. Chang Wei sneered: "The four young people are so bad! Yao Bilian Ge Tan and the like are just charming, how can they be compared with Yun Xian?! Besides, Yun Xian has been redeemed by me to become my concubine, who dares to speak out in the future, don't blame me Li Long for being ruthless!"
"Haha, laughing to death, you ransomed Yun Xian's old ......" Xiao Qi's sneering voice rang out, Chang Wei had gently pushed Yun Xian away, stepped in front of him, picked up his iron fist and slammed it into his face.
Seeing that he was about to hit the tip of his nose, he suddenly felt that a gaze fell on his face, and that gaze was cold and fierce like a poisonous snake, which made Chang Wei feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Jiang Kui has a master by his side!"
Chang Wei's eyes turned slightly, but he saw that the two beautiful girls behind Jiang Kui were affectionately snuggling in the arms of a weak and beautiful young man, the young man looked at Chang Wei with burning eyes, his eyes were clearly a little surprised, but that face was very familiar, it was Yuan Wenbi!
Hey, why did he come to the capital? and how did he get to the same place with Jiang Kui?
His mind was racing, and his fist had already smashed on Xiao Qi's face, only to hear him wail, his body suddenly flew out, and he fell two feet away, and then he was already bleeding.
The laughter stopped abruptly, Jiang Kui and his companions were stunned for a moment, and only Xiao Qi's painful moans could be heard in the back garden.
After a while, Jiang Kuicai scolded inwardly: "Li Long, you are too presumptuous! It depends on the owner to beat the dog......
"Si Shao, you see, I have this donkey temper! I'm also idle, and I know what kind of energy I know like a dog!"
Chang Wei interrupted Jiang Kui's words, wiped the blood marks on his hands, laughed, and suddenly pointed at Yuan Wenbi, his face became faster than turning a book, and he said provocatively: "Little white face, don't look at me like a fucking woman, even if Lao Tzu likes the backyard, he only likes women." As he spoke, his big hand rubbed Yunxian's buttocks twice.
Although Yuan Wenbi is said to be vicious and greedy and lustful, he is the son of Yuan Chonghuan, a rising star of the Huashan faction, and his martial arts are not even below Yan Ruyu, and his teacher Lu Feibai has a deep accomplishment in disguise techniques, and it is estimated that he will not be too weak in this regard.
Chang Wei Yicheng Li Long can hide from him, it is difficult to predict, looking at his eyes, he must have been suspicious, Chang Wei had no choice but to turn against the guest, but said in his heart: "Damn, this kid is really in the way, how can you kill him unknowingly?"
In the moonlight, Yuan Wenbi's white face suddenly turned blood-red, his arm suddenly split, shaking the two girls in his arms together, stepping forward and standing with Jiang Kui, he glanced at Jiang Kui from the corner of his eye, and saw that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were even more eager to kill Chang Wei, so he raised his hand, folded the fan, pointed at Chang Wei Senran and said, "Li Long, you dare to insult me, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" But there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Heh, who is so bold and dares to be unkind to the hundred households in brocade?" Jiang Chi's voice came from behind the rockery without a book, and I saw him walking from behind a group of people to Jiang Kui with a beautiful man in his arms, looked Yuan Wenbi up and down, and said with a smile: "A person who is quite Sven, why is he so angry?"
